Abstract:

This small meeting house was built in 1934 as an Anglican mission hall, and adapted as a meeting house in 1962. It has local heritage value and contributes to the conservation area. Evidential value: The building has low evidential value, and the site is thought to have low archaeological potential. Historical value: The building has medium historical value as an example of small Anglican mission hall built to serve this part of Oswestry in the 1930s, later used and extended for a photographic studio. The meeting house use since 1961 adds to its historical value Aesthetic value: The building is modest architecturally, and its domestic scale and simple style fits well with adjoining brick terraced housing. The main feature on the front is the partly infilled arched doorway; the rear of the building has less aesthetic value interest, although the garden is attractive. Communal value: The meeting house has high communal value as a meeting house also used by community groups, and as a building that is part of a conservation area.
